I agree in the predictable sets night after night but at this point Im over it. But I have to wonder if Jeff Coffin is thinking why the hell am i playing the same show every night still, can I go back to my other band. I would have to think he might be tired of this stale routine already

Like I said, nothing against the show itself. It's a good show, but the setlist on paper is lazy. I have no doubt 95% of the people there had a great time, but on paper this is a predictable show. Not watching the sets doesn't change the fact that this is predictable.

yes it does. If you hadn't seen any sets this tour, you would be flipping about about this show. Just like we all flipped out when we saw the hartford sets. They haven't been much different than that.

If you hadn't watched any sets this year, there's no way you would have predicted even half of this set

I actually have been thinking that same thing quite a bit....but then I remember he is making an absolute shitload of money and gets to have next year (and beyond?) to go back with BFFT anyways, so he might as well keep on truckin. I do think that he is probably very bored up there though.

Already said several times by now, but the You and Me thru Corn Bread run was brutal beyond words. Disgusting to see live, and pretty much ruined the show. Also, Little Red Bird stinks. On the bright side, N2 has to be great, right? Only clunker left is Gravedigger. We'll see I guess

I really hope the band doesn't think all of their fans are as ungrateful as some of you seem. If this is what dave thought his whole fanbase was made up of I could understand him taking next year off, hell why even come back? Don't understand why every single show has to have it's own unique setlist. How many bands, especially this far in their career, play 75 different songs in a summer tour? Unless you were there why does it matter what he played at the show before yours?

Phish opened the first three nights of their tour this summer playing around 55 songs with not one repeat.

The band is on stage, mid set, between songs. Stefan begins humming Last Stop, and Dave overhears.

Dave: Hey Fonz what tune is that again?
Stefan: Come ON Dave, it's Last Stop...I've been working on it for 2 weeks now...
Dave: Well, we've already been playing Can't Stop, and both names have "stop" in them. Close enough...let's do that one instead.

*Can't stop is added to the setlist*
